About the coach
I combine a strong scientific background with over 15 years of coaching experience, using tools like GEARS and Smart2Move 3D force plates to give golfers clear, data-driven insights. Named to Golf Digest’s “Best Young Teachers in America” and “Best in State” lists, as well as the 2019 Western NY PGA Teacher of the Year, he helps players of all levels refine their games to play better golf. From those starting out to those playing at the highest levels, I've worked with everyone and I look forward to working with you.

I sent a chipping video to Coach Eric Barzeski because I was struggling a bit, and he went above and beyond. He didnt just reply with a quick note he took the time to record a personalized how-to video specifically for me. What meant the most wasnt just the technical fix it was how simple he made it. On a golf trip, when your confidence can swing fast, he gave me one clear, manageable thing to focus on. That reset my mental state immediately. Now Ive got something practical to work on tomorrow in practice and something I can actually take to the course. That kind of coaching simple, direct, and confidence-building makes a huge difference. Highly recommend.

Valuable feedback on the development process so far and clear assessment of next steps to address core issues. Great analysis of swing mechanics and direction on immediate and subsequent focus items

Erik does an excellent job in identifying the first thing in the swing that must be addressed. I really look forward to seeing where this journey takes me.

There is no other instructor on skillest that Ive found, that teaches body sequencing, where pressure and mass should be and the flow of the swing, along with club and arm/hand positions. Most all other instructors just teach club positions, and that only gets you so far. I can attest to that personally. I highly recommend Erik for a lesson - hes an effective communicator and helps you break down your swing a bit and work on things in stages, rather than throwing everything at you at one time.
